Effective Scientific Communication

Abstract

Science is not about facts but the communication of facts; Results do not speak for themselves but require an argument. Effective communication is of crucial importance for a successful career and yet it is something we usually not prepared for and which we have to continue practicing throughout our career. In this course you will learn to get your message across in scientific publications, conference posters, for grant proposals, on your web-­‐page and through oral presentations. The technique taught in this course is simple and effective at the same time, exploiting a pattern that is commonly employed by successful communicators.
